My car wouldn't start. Good dealership experience
This is a cross post, but I forgot about this section when I posted it, lol. This is mainly because I had my first experience with Sewell and it was actually very good.
For the past few months, my car would have hard starts if I didn't drive it every day. I bought a new battery and it worked fine for a few weeks. This past weekend the car wouldn't start at all. I couldn't even jump it. It would just click click click when I tried to start it. I kinda assumed it was the starter.
Well I had the car towed to the local Sewell Infiniti dealership (thank God for AAA) on Monday. They gave me a 08 loaner G, and man I fell in love with it. This might actually be the first dealership that gets things taken care of with no complaints from me.
Well they ran a diagnostic on it and the only issue with it was that it was throwing codes for the key. I don't remember the exact code but the tech said it was because my chipped key wasn't being recognized anymore. My key had a crack in it and they said that was the problem. The car now runs and starts fine with my spare key. My alternator and starter checked out fine and they couldn't find anything else wrong with it. They fixed the fuel hose recall and with the diagnostic, my total bill for everything came to $0.00.
For some of you guys who are having hard times starting your car, as lame as this sounds, check your key. I guess my car does a good job at not starting with out the proper key

well the car wouldn't start again. I took the battery to auto zone and it was completely dead. I got a new battery and drove the car back to the dealership yesterday to look at it again. I need to find this slow battery drain. Oh well, I get to play around with a 08 G for another few days

got the car back yesterday. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. I think my slow batter drain is from my broked 6 disk and my radio. If there a fix for the radio draining problem?
My bill for the 2nd dealership visit was a whole $0.00
